If There Were No After Life
Whether there’s afterlife,the answer has never been the same.The atheists deny after life,believing that our life is no more than from the cradle to the grave.They may care about their illustrious names after death; they may feel attached to the affection of their offspring,but they never lay their hopes on their afterlife.They may also say that good will be rewarded with good,and evil with evil,but they don’t really believe any retribution in their after life.
However,in the religious world or among the superstitious people,the belief in afterlife is very popular.They do not only believe in afterlife,but thousands of reincarnations as well.In the mysterious world,there are the paradise and the hell,the celestial beings and the gods,the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas.
Maybe they really believed it,or maybe they just wanted to make use of people’s veneration,the ancient emperors always declared that they were the real dragons,the sons of God,while the royal ministers claimed to be the reincarnations of various constellations.But can the stars reincarnate?
Many people burn incense and kowtow,do good deeds and strive for virtues,not just for the present,but mainly to let God see their sincerity so as to be reborn into a better afterlife,or to achieve the highest enlightenment after several lives of practice.They do believe in afterlife.But I can’t help asking:Suppose there were no afterlife,would you still do good deeds and strive for virtues?And If God does not see what you are doing,would you still be so upright and selfless?If you work,not for serving the public and liberating the others,but just for a better afterlife of your own,isn’t it a little too selfish?Comparing with this kind of believers,those who don’t believe in afterlife,but still keep doing good deeds,are the most sincere and honest philanthropists,because they do them not for themselves but for other.
You may wonder if I believe in afterlife.My answer is:I know nothing about my previous life,so I dare not make improper comments on afterlife.But I do hope there’s afterlife!Because our present life is so short that so many things slip away before our proper understanding.I have so many dreams,so many wishes,so many ambitions,as well as so many regrets and concerns.If there were no afterlife,all of them will remain unrealized!
I’m not contented with the present commonplace life,I’m very much attached to the affections that should have been mine but have been washed away by the hurrying time,and I yearn for the perfection and maturity if I could start all over again.So believe it or not,I’d rather there were afterlife.

假如没有来世
有没有来世,众说纷纭.无神论者,不相信来世.他们认为从生到死,仅此而已.他们可能在意身后的英名,他们可能留恋后代的亲情,但他们不寄希望于来世.他们也会说善有善报,恶有恶报,但并不相信下辈子报应什么.
在宗教领域、或在一些迷信的人群,来世之说比较盛行.不仅是来世,甚至会认为有千百次的轮回.在那未知而飘渺的世界,有天堂,有地狱,有神族,有仙界,有菩萨、有佛祖.
也许真的相信、也许是为了利用人们的敬畏心里,古代的帝王们总是宣称自己是真龙天子,大臣们则标榜为天上的什么文曲星、武曲星或太白金星转世.星星能转世吗?
许多人烧香、磕头,行善、修德,并不都是为了眼前,而是为了让上天看见自己的真诚,以便下辈子有个好的托生,或者几世之后能修成正果.这些人自然是相信来世的.但我不禁要问：如果没有来世,你们会不会一样行善、修德呢?如果神灵看不见,你们是否也会公正无私呢?如果不是为了解脱他人和服务大众才去修行,如果仅仅是为了自己将来托生好才去行善,是否有些自私呢?比较起来,那些不相信来世而又坚持行善的人,则应该是最真、最诚的大善.因为他们不是为自身,而是为公理.
也许有人会问作者,你相信来世吗?我的回答是：我不知道前生,因而也不敢妄谈后世.但我真的希望能有来世!因为这辈子时间太短,许多事情都是在还没弄明白的时候,就已经匆匆过去了.我有那么多的理想,我有那么多的心愿,我有那么多的奢望,我有那么多的遗憾,我有那么多的牵挂,我有那么多的雄心壮志,如果没有来世,那就一切皆空了.
我不甘心眼前的碌碌无为,我留恋被岁月冲走的本应属于我的亲情,更向往从头再来的完美和成熟.为此,信也好,不信也好,我宁愿有来世.

As everyone knows,English is very important today.It has been used everywhere in the world.It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade. If we can speak English well,we will have more chance to succeed.Because more and more people have taken notice of it,the number of the people who go to learn English has increased at a high speed.
But for myself,I learn English not only because of its importance and its usefulness,but also because of my love for it.When I learn English, I can feel a different way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the world.When I read English novels,I can feel the pleasure from the book which is different from reading the translation.When I speak English, I can feel the confident from my words.When I write English,I can see the beauty which is not the same as our Chinese...
I love English,it gives me a colorful dream.I hope I can travel around the world one day. With my good English, I can make friends with many people from different contries.I can see many places of great intrests.I dream that I can go to London,because it is the birth place of English.
I also want to use my good English to introduce our great places to the English spoken people,I hope that they can love our country like us.
I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well.
If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe as I love English everyday , it will love me too.
I am sure that I will realize my dream one day!
Thank you!
亲爱的老师，同学们：
我很高兴可以在这个课堂上做一次演讲。这一次，我想谈谈英语。我的话题是我爱英语。
正如每个人所知，英语在今天十分重要。它已经被应用到世界的各个角落。它已经成为商业上最为通用的一门语言并广泛的用于国际贸易。如果我们能说好英语，我们就有更多的机会成功。因为越来越多的人注意到这一点，学英语的人数正在已很高的速度增长。
但是对我而言，我学英语不仅仅因为它的重要性以及它的实用性，更是因为我喜爱英语。当我学英语时，我可以体会到一种不同的思维方式，它可以给我更多接触世界的空间。当我读英语小说时，我能感受到不同于阅读翻译文的快乐。当我说英语时，我可以感到自信。当我写英语时，我能够感到不同于汉语的那种美……
我爱英语，它给了我一个色彩斑斓的梦。我希望有朝一日我可以畅游世界，用我流利的英语，我可以和世界各地的人交友。我能看到许多的名胜。我希望我能够到伦敦去，因为那里是英语的故乡。
我也希望用我流利的英语来将我们的名胜介绍给说英语的朋友，我希望他们可以像我们一样的爱我们的国家。
我知道，罗马不是一天筑成的。（成功需要日积月累。）我相信在持续不断的努力学习下，总有一天我可以拥有一口流利的英语。
如果你想被爱，你就应该学着去爱他人。所以我相信我对英语的爱定将换来它对我的爱。
我相信总有一天我会实现我的梦！
谢谢！

Self-confidence
Self-confidence means trust in one's own ability. As a very important psychological quality， it brings your creative power to play， arouses you enthusiasm for work and helps you overcome difficulties. When asked of the secret of her success， Marie Curie answered， “My success lies in perseverance and self-confidence， the latter in particular.”
Self-confidence gives you light when you are in dark and encouragement when you are dismayed. It is self-confidence that inspires you to cope with any arduous task. With self-confidence， the goal you intend can be reached， and so can the hard nut be cracked.
Some people find most of the things impossible， saying， “It is beyond my ability to do the task.” or “I am not cut out for it.” In many cases， these are only lame excuses. When our heart is void of self-confidence， every hope is gone， and everything we are laying our hands on is spoilt.
Be honest with yourself about your strengths and weakness and manage accordingly.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:
Bidding for the Olympic Games, in a way, an image-creating undertaking. The first and foremost thing is to let people fall in love with the city at first sight, attracting them by its unipue image. What image does Beijing
intend to create for itself once it has the opportunity to host the 2008 Olympics?
It is known to all that the Beijing Municipal Government has already set the theme for the future games: New Beijing, Great Olympics. For me, the 2008 Olympics will be a great green Olympics illuminated with two more special colors, yellow and red.
First, yellow is a meaningful color. The Yellow River is China's Mother River and the descendants of the Yellow Emperor. This color has a special origin and great significance for the Chinese people. Beijing is the capital of New China and previously the capital for nine dynasties in Chinese history. So, yellow will naturally add splendor to the 2008 Games.
Secondly, the 2008 Olympics will be a red pageant.Red is another traditionally cherished color for the whole country. We adore red. On big occasions, we like to decorate our homes in red. It is the color of double happiness, representing joyous moments, auspiciousness, enthusiasm and prosperity. Red is one of the most suitable colors to describe the future of Beijing . Beijing , together with the whole country, is becoming more and more prosperous in the process of modernization. Should the 2008 Olympics be held in Beijing, the whole city will be a sea of red : the red torch,red flags, red flowers, and the radiant faces of millions of joyful people.
Above all, the 2008 Olympics will be a green Olympics. Adding a green ingredient is essential in creating an appealing image, as we can't deny the fact that Beijing, at the moment, is not as green a city as what we like it to be. Striving for an environmentally appealing city has become a central task for all the citizens of Beijing. Big efforts have been made in pollution control, replanting and beautification of the city. According to a project entitled" The Green Olympic Action Plan", between 1998 and 2007, Beijing, we have invested 100 billion RMB in preserving and protecting the environment. Some 12.5 million trees and over 1 million acres of grass will be planted along the Fourth Ring Road. By then, the city's green area will make up 40% of its total. The city will also dredge its reservoirs used as a water supply to Beijing residents, controlling industrial pollution and moving out the 200 factories presently located within the city proper.
Certainly, all of this is no easy task. But I am sure that all of us have confidence that we will realize these green goals. For now we have the full support and participation of the environmentally conscious citizens. Each
citizen is showing great concern for every one of the steps the city government takes. As the saying goes, United, we stand, and a green Beijing will be achieved.
When our aspiration becomes a reality, it will be a unique Olympics." New Beijing, Great Olympics"; will be weaved of these three superb colors: yellow, red and green.
Let us welcome it and look forward to it! Thank you!

To have everything done by my robot, I sit in the garden of my villa and watch the pink snow flowing in the sky with all kinds of delicious food circling around me. I reach out for the goodies. Ling-ling-ling! Suddenly the telephone rings. Oh, it’s only a daydream.
With the mixture of romance and imagination, the girl who likes daydreaming appears to be here. Martin Luther King had his big dream that is to liberate his Negro brothers, and I have my small daydreams. But we share something in common which is that we all desire for a bright future. With my love for delicious food, I always daydreamed of many goodies being severed to me. Although I awoke every time without having a taste at those goodies, these interesting experience have relaxed my brain, and the hope for a bright future has encouraged me to be more diligent to realize my daydreams. The necessary element romance has helped me to have more fun in my daily life and get closer to the beautiful nature. The element imagination has helped me to be more creative in my study and daily life.
But daydreams need a limit. I only allows myself to daydream at the right time and for certain times for fear that I would get too far from the real life or will be too lazy to work hard lost in those remote daydreams.
Maybe I will find a job that will realize my daydreams and offers me more time for daydreaming, but who knows? Another daydream will probably change my idea.
Days and days, dreams and dreams, and that are daydream. Young girls, enough imagination, and that are my daydreams.
Who is the girl that is standing there? Lovely dress, beautiful shoes, and a prince who is holding her hands, dancing at the ball. Oh! A daydream once again. Thank you for listening!
